Spa description

Spa Bešeňová is reputed for its thermal water, which has a positive impact on bones, muscles and joints, urinary tract, and is also suitable for beauty treatments. Even healthy people can profit from bathing in it. The water is pretty hot with a temperature of 60.5°C. However, while coming up to the surface from the depth of 1987 metres, it cools down a little; so in the outdoor swimming pools its temperature ranges from 24 to 39°C. This is a very agreeable temperature, especially in autumn and winter.

At the moment, the spa has as many as 8 outdoor swimming pools, all filled with geothermal water. More specifically, they are two swimming pools, five “relaxation pools” and one non-swimmers’ pool. They are suitable for visitors of any age and most of them are open all year long.

Apart from these, there are also some indoor pools, including a sitting pool and a large swimming pool, where you can enjoy some of the numerous water attractions, e.g. stainless slide, water mushroom, different spouts. There is also children´s pool with a very popular slide. Indoor pools have been available for visitors since 2006, and, therefore, are very modern and literally shine with newness.

Short history
